Especially when you consider that they play Bo3 series' in their regular split. Hopefully switching to Bo3 will help them in the Knockout Stage.
Not really even an NA fanboy - I just like seeing some actual competition.
Meteos just need to stop playing Lee Sin. On topic tough, yeah NA seems very solid, probably the strongest the region has ever been. It's just a matter of how they can adapt during Bo3 and Bo5.
Must feel bad being an EU fan tough. All their teams are just falling apart.
I'm of the opinion that if C9 get out of group stage, they will be much stronger being a very skilled team in the art of adapting in bo3s and 5s
I'm not going to feel good about anything until I see their names locked in to the quarter finals. Last year was just way too fucking demoralizing. I mean looking back on it now we really should have seen the 0-10 coming but whoo that was rough. Hopefully never again.
0 and 10 the dream, I still believe that we can fuck this up
I prefer we dont though
It definitely goes to show that certain analysts don't really know what they're talking about. The NA Olaf has translated into a pretty strong pick for NA teams. Even SKT/ROX and other big name teams are picking/banning it now. All summer split long from certain Korean fanboys all we heard is how dumb the pick was and how useless it was.
We'll have to see when it gets to Best of 3 and Best of 5 what happens but NA is doing well. The wildcards look good.
Knockout stage is all Bo5.
